There are several cryptoassets that are surprising due to their concept or purpose. Here are a few examples:
1. Dogecoin $DOGE – Originally created as a joke based on Shiba Inu dog memes. Despite its humorous origins, Dogecoin has gained serious popularity and is used for tips and donations.
2. Dentacoin (DCN) – A cryptocurrency focused on the dental industry. Its idea was to incentivize users to leave reviews about dentists and pay for services.
3. PotCoin (POT) – Created specifically for the legal cannabis industry. Its goal is to simplify transactions in this sector.
4. Useless Ethereum Token (UET) – Dubbed the “useless” token (which is literally what it is). It was a satirical project created to raise funds with no real value or purpose.
5. CryptoKitties – Not exactly a cryptocurrency, but an NFT project where people bought and bred digital cats. It caused a lot of hype, but to many it seemed like a strange hobby.
Strangeness often depends on perspective, because what seems absurd to one person may make sense to another in the context of their interests or business.
